In particular, the autumn leaves around Otoge Dam turn the mountains red and delight the eyes of passing motorists. [Best time to see autumn leaves] Mid-October to late October

Namiuchizaki

Namiuchi is a dynamic rocky reef where the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean wash over you with spray. This reef is the end of the Sannoiwa Promenade, and the upper part is almost flat. When you look down at the ocean from atop an unfenced reef, the sound of the rough waves that resonates deep in your chest makes you feel once again the majesty of nature.

Yokoyama Hachiman Shrine

It is a very old and historic shrine that is said to have been founded in 681. It is said that Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his servants visited the shrine for a pilgrimage and stayed overnight there. Saburo Shigeie Suzuki, a vassal accompanying him, was quite old, so he remained at Yokoyama Hachiman Shrine, changed his name to Juzaburo, and became the head priest of this Hachiman Shrine.
